There is a 10 minute grace period. However, students arriving to class after the grace period must sit and observe their class. All Warm-ups will begin at the start of the scheduled class time. Therefore, it is very important for dancers to arrive to class on time as scheduled. At EDU, we pride ourselves on being professional and courteous at all times and to each other. We do not tolerate any disrespect or rudeness to any of our Dance Educators and fellow dancers. If your dancer demonstrates disrespect or rudeness to our Dance Educators, I will immediately schedule a conference with the dancer and parent (s).If your dancer has a problem or concern with any dance educator, please inform me immediately as I will address the situation directly with the Dance Educator. Please do not speak directly to the Dance Educator regarding your dancer’s problem or concern. As EDU’s Artistic Director, one of my highest priorities is to insure your dancer receives the best intense dance training by some of the most experienced and professional Dance Educators throughout the world. Maintaining a respectful, friendly, and safe environment are also some of my highest priorities. It is imperative that each dancer and parent/guardian adhere to these rules. If a dancer does not adhere to the dance etiquette as outlined above, on the first occurrence they will be placed on probation and be allowed to continue at EDU on a trial basis. If a dancer is involved in a second occurrence then they will be immediately dismissed from EDU, not allowed to return, and no refund will be granted to the parent/guardian(s). Please support EDU’s concession stand by providing your child with a few dollars to purchase snacks and beverages. All proceeds support EDU’s Senior and Honor Roll Academic Gifts at the end of the season. We appreciate you, your support of EDU, and we welcome you aboard the Eleone Express Train. A ride you will never forget! Shawn-Lamere Williams Artistic Director 1321 South Juniper Street, Philadelphia PA 19147 The Official School of Eleone Dance Theatre .
